General Tray Loading:

See "Product Pusher Usage" on page 35 for spirals with capacity of 11, 13, or 15.

See "Spiral Wall Retainer Usage" on page 34 for spirals with capacity of 20, 25, 30, or 38.

Begin loading products at the front of the tray and work toward the back. Position the product so the package rests on the tray. DO NOT force a product into a spiral.

If the fit is too tight or too loose, change the spiral size. (See "Remove and Install Spirals" on page 25).

Be sure there are no empty positions between products in each spiral.

Special Considerations:

Bagged Products

Position package upright, then push the tops slightly toward the rear of

 

the tray. Also, (see "Product Pusher Usage" on page 35).

Thin Packages

Position the package upright.

 

Also, (see "Spiral Wall Retainer Usage" on page 34).
